Ever since Charles Darwin examined the

origin of the human species, we have as-

sumed that he was referring to our evolu-

tion from superior apes. Now, a century

later, a European journalist named Branko

Bokun asks why.

Employing a stunning sense of logic and

assuming nothing, Bokun presents his case:

man is descended from inferior apes and

remains hopelessly immature, living in a

useless intellectual prison of his own mak-

ing. Because man learns everything by im-

itating other animals and adapting to his

environment, he has lost his ability to in-

herit any natural pattern of behavior. And

further, Mr. Bokun maintains that men and

women have undergone two separate

evolutionary processes--and modern

woman is actually taking a step backward in

her search for equality and liberation.
